Dont spend your life idle.
The weather wont wait wait for anybody.
It is too late to spare when all is spent but it is never too late to mend..
Good Monday ,good week.
1. John Hickey 2. Derrynaguillian, Machaiire ,Tulla,
72. 4 Farmer. - Old proverbs.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Live horse and you will get grass.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
A bend is better than a break.
The day of the storm is not the day of the scallop.
Fast bind, fast find.
The longer you live the more you hear.
The younger the chicken the sweeter the picking.
The nearer to the altar the farther from God.
"Ná cuir do gnó ar an mhéar fhada."
"Ní bhíonn ciall roimh aois"
An ounce of grief never paid a pound of debt.
Apples will grow yet.
Good Monday ,good week.(continues on next page)- Informant
